The spirit and the flesh: Sexual diversity in American

Indian culture (Hardcover)
by Walter L Williams (Author)


Amazon.com
Walter L. Williams's excellent research has produced one

of the most extensive studies of the berdache culture

among Native Americans. Unlike the larger American

society, Native Americans historically have respected, and

in many tribal nations venerated, homosexuals. Williams

explains the berdache as a custom, its social roles, and

the berdache history, including its introduction to the

European concept of sin and intolerance of sexual

diversity. The word berdache applies almost exclusively to

males, mainly because historical records only relate

dealings with aboriginal males, but Williams also includes

a chapter on female sexual diversity, using the word

amazon to describe these often warriorlike women. --This

From Publishers Weekly
Williams, an ethnohistorian at the University of Southern

California, presents a fascinating and thorough study of

American Indian acceptance of sexual diversity. Drawing on

interviews with Native Americans, anthropologists and

historians, Williams documents how tribal cultures revered

the "berdache"any man who "does not fill a society's

standard man's role, who has a nonmasculine character."

Many American Indian communities believed that some

members belonged to an "alternative gender" neither male

nor female, their identities determined by spiritual

inclination, not sex. Berdaches were treated as sacred and

held ceremonial roles as psychic healers, "medicine men"

and prophets. Williams also illustrates how European

settlers in North and South America sought to repress the

berdache tradition and how it went underground, reemerging

after the rebirth of Native American culture and the rise

of gay liberation. The only flaws in this enlightening

book are the author's tendency to generalize about Western

homophobia and his too brief treatment of female

counterparts of berdaches.

Nope! Thats what institutions like churches schools are for, so that they can define and reinforce the norms that society creates. Its really a self proclaiming prophecy. where we create these constraints and then have certain institutions reinforce those norms. We keep creating the same perceptions on things such as homosexuality instead of redefining our view on it.

Besides, i think that boy Jesus was gay.

Always hangin' out with them disciple dudes . . . look at that painting of the last supper--them boys was soooo gay . . .

Don't blame it on Jesus. Blame it on the guy who drew the picture.

Unless someone thinks he drew from memory.

You sound like a two year old child asking why daddy, over and over again. Damn it it is an unnatural act whether you believe so or not. If you don't think so go ask the sheep that just got fu*ck.ed
